Try it!

I wonder if the October 5th wedding knows about us...
Seems legit. WHat would happen on a breakup tho? Transactions arent refundable in btc 
Well, the saving in bitcoin was working out... until recently. It's OK, as I would have likely spend some of the savings had it not been BTC. As it sits, we've only lost about $800 of USD value. Hopefully I don't get slaughtered in the next month.
I've always thought that contacts are for people you don't trust - something that you can hang over their head when they do you wrong. Why would you need a contract with your spouse?
I just prefer determining those things privately than through the state. More than anything, this is experimenting with breaking one of many social conventions most people grant as monopoly to the state to oversee.
In reply to the first User's post. I don't think contracts are for people you don't trust. I see contracts as more as, "the professing of one's love to another, on paper"

More for delineation of assets, rights, and responsibilities should things not work out. The best example I can think of is if we have children and she chooses to scale back on a good career to raise them; that is something I believe has value and should be compensated. The compensation, though, should be reasonable and bound to actual economic trade-offs.

the legitimacy of marriage.
i glanced over a few legal things: so here goes (read my disclaimer in my footer)
to avoid the whole state/church licence stuff there is a 'banns for marriage' thing which is about publicly notifying your intent to marriage, so that anyone who can see any reason why the parties involved should not be married can be notified.
so before doing a blockchain marriage certificate you should 3 weeks prior, do a public announcement of intent to marry. .. and whats more internationally public than the blockchain
the licence thing is normally to shorten this delay.
i have not yet researched the ceremony itself but in general as long as its publicly shown that both parties have committed themselves to each other, then a marriage is valid. (please check local law of your area about requirements of ministers/registrars)
From what you have glanced over: have you seen anything about the notification requirements? Is there a minimum number of people that generally would see any such notification (like newspaper circulation)? i glanced over a few legal things: so here goes (read my disclaimer in my footer)

I love all of the different use cases for block chain technology that are being thought of lately.
This is going to be global revolution... decentralize everything!!!
Seriously, governments and corporations of the world are not to be trusted and/or are incapable. Bring control, wealth, and power back to the people.

Hahah nice idea there , i like how people try to put their Marriage as the ''forever'' stuff while most of marriages break. Try calling me stupid, but i somehow think everyone should know that getting married doesen't mean staying married, of course i want every marriage to last forever, but todays life speed is not allowing that.
This is an interesting concept, but nevertheless, congratulations to you both
Hmmm... What if you guys both have your own non-shared private key and a single shared private/public key pair. You then each generate your own public key to your private key and have a paper notarized that includes your finger print, ID and public key (from your non-shared private key) on a paper, signifying that you do indeed own that public key. Now you keep a copy of that notarized paper for yourself and give the original to your partner (now your partner has legal proof of you stating you own that public key).
Then a hash of your marriage agreement is made and is known to both of you. You both then send a small fraction of a bitcoin using your non-shared private key/public key pair to the shared bitcoin private/public key pair with the hash of the marriage agreement as a public note, signifying that the marriage agreement is active.
That shared private/public key (which could be a multi-sig key if you wanted) is then used as your joint bank account.
Sounds fun to me honestly. Congratulations on your marriage

How about this,
Transaction #2: moves some coins from one of your addresses to a new address (the "my end" address), includes a comment in scriptPubKey using OP_DROP (could be your vows for example).
Transaction #3: moves some coins from one of her addresses to a new address (the "your end" address), includes a comment in scriptPubKey using OP_DROP (could be her vows for example).
Transaction #4: takes the two previous transactions as inputs, outputs to a 1-of-2 multisig address (or 2-of-2, depending on your values and the strength of the relationship). The "binding" transaction.

I don't see how this could possibly work unless we started attaching verified genders, ethnicities, and religions to addresses.
Otherwise we wouldn't be able to deprive people of their right to marry, and I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I happen to think we already get enough hurricanes each year.

Lol, very nice.

To ensure they are not there to take your money is the first reaction.
Rationale before insanity
That is why people write agreements that say that you keep everything you own before the marriage and split what you acquire after the marriage.
Having a good financial agreement is as important entering into marriage as the love they have for their spouse, since finances tend to be one of the biggest issues a married couple have.

“Marriage is a partnership, and like in any other partnership, usually it is important to have some kind of an agreement.”
marriage is not about that.... your talking about pre-nup...
a marriage is to enforce that someone that is not in your bloodline is provably your next of kin and has entitlements to your wealth, can b a part of your health and a guardian of your descendants.
